Determining image types used in pdf

Hi,
I was sent a pdf by a client and was wondering if there was a way to determine what types of images he used in the file.
For example, did he use .jpg, .tif,, .eps etc.
Thanks,

Automator - Change Image Type - Multiple page PDF- TIFF conversion

I was able to do this on a friend's computer (not sure which version of OS X they were running), but this seems impossible on Snow Leopard.
I need to convert hundreds of multiple page PDFs to TIFFs. I can't get this to work, and the Change Image Type option only lists single page PDF conversion. I could separate PDFs into multiple files, convert to TIFFs, but then I don't know how to recombine a bunch of TIFF pages into a larger file. From google searches, I know this is possible using tiffutil, but I don't really understand how to use that well, and I really need an automatic process.
I'm at my wits end with this, because I did it just last week on someone else's computer and it was easy as pie. Why can't you convert multiple page PDFs in Snow Leopard?
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I just tried this - two problems.
It creates a separate tiff document for each page of the input pdf.
Also, this action is just annoying because it results in randomly named files in some temp folder that i can only locate using the reveal finder item action. I know I can rename files in automator, but I'd really like to have the output file have the same name as the input file.
It confuses me why they would remove this functionality in Snow Leopard.

How to handle image files used in PDF forms

With LiveCycle, I've created an interactive form for Help Desk-type requests, and the form works beautifully. I've tested it, and everything works. Show. Hide, Clear fields. And all the other behaviors I added with Action Builder.
As a final design feature, on my local machine at work, I added a header image (which is in My Documents>My Pictures). I tested locally and uploaded the form to Sharepoint and tested from there, and from what I can remember, the form looked fine. The header was intact. So I kind of assumed the image was embedded somehow.
So I brought the file home and opened it there, and -- Voila! -- no header image!
What happened?
Does the image file need to be uploaded and the path relative to the location of the file? To me, this doesn't seem to be a huge problem. More of an unexpected one. I can probably upload the image to someplace in Sharepoint and then set the image path in the XML.
But I'd like to hear the experiences of those who have used image files in their LiveCycle forms.

Determining canvas type using PLSQL

Is it possible to determine the canvas type at runtime ?
I have a canvas name or canvas id.
I want to find out if the canvas is a content, stacked or tab canvas
Somre more info ....
Tab canvas is my biggest problem right now.
I tried detecting it by using GET_CANVAS_PROPERTY (..., TOPMOST_TAB_PAGE) thinking that if it returned NULL or raised an error I could use that to determine that it was not a tab canvas. However, this raises an error that I can only suppress using an ON-ERROR trigger which is not a good solution (I am hoping to imlement a solution within a single function)
Any ideas ?
thanks

thanks everyone - I managed to resolve this by simplifying my requirements
Francois tip lead my to the resolution.
I only needed to detect if a canvas is one of the following
1) a tab canvas
2) a non-tab canvas
I wrote a function to detect if a canvas is a tab canvas. The function loops through all items in the form and return TRUE if it finds an item on the canvas that also has GET_ITEM_PROPERTY (... ITEM_TAB_PAGE ) IS NOT NULL
P.S I cant rely on the canvas naming standard as this is an existing app with inconsistent canvas names.
thanks for ideas.

Image type problem

Dear all,
I've modified the threshold example for a single U16 image of cells, which, while running and changing the threshold values, shows the original example, the thresholded example, as well as to histographs for both images.
However, somewhere, something goes wrong with the image type and the thresholded image never shows the way it should. I have been working on this for days, but I still can't find the problem. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.

The problem is that the thresholded image is completely white, with only two very small blots of black. Also, the image doesn't change upon changing the threshold value. Finally, the histogram shows weird values.
I expect it must have something to do with the image types used throughout the VI..

Displaying a dynamic image using a PDF file.

I am trying to find a way to display an image dynamically in my report. The image happens to be .pdf I have Crystal Reports XI and I have the graphic location formula completed "
10.93.138.250\Production\ProdOut\00\" & {Order_Record.URN_text} + "_p1.pdf" however it tells me PDF is not supported. Is there a way around this?

I have to agreed that what you are saying appears to be true from my attempts at getting .pdf files to work dynamically. Using .bmp and .jpg files seems to work just fine but not .pdf, .xls, or .doc.
In the Users Guide, in chapter 16, in the section titled "Working with static OLE objects" - it only talks about the picture type formats you mentioned and metafiles. Later in this section is where it explains how to make a static OLE object dynamic.
While it doesn't specifically say it won't work for other types - it sure doesn't seem to. I see no reason why this should be true however! Certainly Crystal appears to be set up to allow this and the fact that the objects are not images shouldn't matter. Why is there a picture tab and a conditional formula button next to the graphic location label on the object if it can't be used?
I'm trying to do something similiar to Carey. I have maps to customers in a customer list and they are in .pdf files. The location of the map is stored in the database. I'm putting together a report of service calls and I want to print the map with each call. It looks like I'll have to convert several thousand .pdf files to .jpg - that should be fun!
Any chance this limitation will be eliminated sometime soon...

The Refiner Result type: When refine by result type: PDF or Zip sometimes files which are images are shown (not pdf or zip)

Hi,
We use Search Refiners and there is a strange problem: when we refine by the Refiner Result type: Zip and PDF we also get files which are gif files.
keren tsur

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you get the gif files sometimes when you refiner the Result Type PDF or ZIP.
I try to do this test in my environment, however, the result is I get the corresponding PDF file and don’t get the gif files by Refiner the PDF Result Type in Search Center.
Do you get all gif files by the Refiner Result Type: PDF or ZIP in Search Center?
And, do you see these gif files under the Refiner Result Type: Image?
I recommend that you can try to respectively type the “PDF”, “ZIP” and “gif” in search box to compare the search results.
Also, you can try to go to SharePoint 2013 Central Administration, click “Search Service Application” in “Manage service application”, click the “Index Reset” to reset all crawled content, then start Full Crawl again.

How to create Image as Custom Property Type used in Configurable Web Part?

I wanted to create custom configurable web part property for Image.
Example - the screenshot of Image property used in Image web part is shown below:
My goal is to create as many images as possible in custom configurable web part.
I tried to write the code:
[WebBrowsable(true),
WebDisplayName("Example Photo"),
WebDescription("Example Photo of the user"),
Category("Custom User Profile"),
Personalizable(PersonalizationScope.Shared)]
public Image ExampleUserPhoto { get; set; }
However, the result does not display Image configurable web part property.
I wonder why the data type Image does not cause the custom web part to have Image configurable web part property.
Other data types such as Boolean, Enum, Integer, String and DateTime can be used.
How can I create Image as Custom Property Type used in Configurable Web Part?

I have examined that context node __00 has been enhanced,and has a class name z___00. But when I created a new attirubute by right click " Attributes" with wizard under context node __00.There is still a error message "view is not enhaced or copied with wizard".
But when I created a method "getvaliation " in the class of context node zcl__00, the attribute 'valiation' automatically created(at the same time the method "getvaliation' automatically created for the attribute 'valiation') and I need not to create attibute 'validation' by wizard . It seemed as if the problem is resloved. But when I make test for it in web ui .There is a runtime erro message.

Image not displaying in pdf report using XSL-FO and using Oracle 11g databa

Good Afternoon,
I have created over 15 reports using XSL-fo, with the following syntax to display an image on the pdf:
fo:block margin-left="0.24cm" margin-right="0.27cm" margin-top="0.0cm" ><fo:external-graphic content-width="scale-to-fit" content-height="scale-to-fit" width="1.73cm" height="1.57cm" >
<xsl:attribute name="src">'url("http://readiness:7780/i/marforcom_symbol_rpts.gif")'</xsl:attribute></fo:external-graphic>
</fo:block>
This syntax works fine when using Oracle 10g, now my database has been upgraded to 11g and my image no longer displays in the reports. I have already upload the image into the database as a workspace image.
I have tried to point the image @ the image by using url(#WORKSPACE_IMAGE#marforcom_symbol_rpts.gif)
or <img src ="#IMAGE_PREFIX#marforcom_symbol_rpts.gif")
and it still doesn't work.
I have searched this forum trying to come up with a solution that will fix my problem and am unable to.
Current config: Oracle 11g, using pl/sql gateway.
I need to know how to point the xsl-fo file to the database, where the image now resides.
Thanks,
Mary

Hi,
I think you need load images to database XDB virtual directory /i/ and then use #IMAGE_PREFIX# substitution.
This might help to access /i/

Or use this to load images

What's the best way to save an 8.5 x 11 image for use as a page background in a PDF?

What's the best way to save an 8.5 x 11 image for use as a page background in a PDF? My goal is to have a relatively small final .pdf file size that includes numerous pages with full 8.5 x 11 images as backgrounds in the document. If I save at 8.5 x 11 and 72dpi (example), the image is not 8.5 x 11, and the quality is not good enough. I need help with size, dpi, and file format to save as before I place it in InDesign and then save as a .pdf.
Thanks,
Jim

Do exactly what I said then. Create the InDesign document of the required dimension, and chose whether it will be high quality print, or Interactive PDF. It really doesn't mater what format you bring the image into that document. It can be JPG, PNG, but I usually use native Photoshop PSD. The image does have to be of high enough resolution, but it can be many times bigger than iis required for the final export. (InDesign does not import the image, but rather references it on your hard drive.)
When you have placed your text and finished your page, then export it to PDF, but go through the tabs chosing suitable settings. If the image needs to be downsized, InDesign will do that at this stage while building the PDF.
If you can tell us how this presentation will be made (Projector, overhead projector, printed page etc. or just emailed to the end users) we can help you more with the final output settings.

I get an 'Invalid Image Type' error when using the Locate Features. (Evaluation version)

I'm using the Evaluation Version of Vision Builder. I Simulate Acquisition using my own image (jpg), which loads fine. However, when I try to use any of the Inspection Steps features, other than Enhance Images, I get an "Invalid Image Type" error.

Hello,
Vision Builder functions usually work with a certain image type. For example, all the functions listed under Binary (in the menubar) will only work with binary images. Likewise, color functions will work for color images and grayscale will work for grayscale images.
You can convert a color image into a grayscale by extracting a color plane and a grayscale image can be converted to binary using the threshold function.
Hope this helps!

Set the compression quality for individual images for exporting a PDF?

When are export a PDF in ID, you are given an option to downsample and compress images. My problem is, I want to compress some images more than others. For example, a photo in the document could be downsampled much more than a png logo. Of course I could go and pre-downsample each image to the right size in photoshop, but that can get kind of involved. Is there a way I could at least exclude one particular image from the compression process?

Well, I didn't find any way to do this in ID, but I do believe its a useful thing to do. In Fact, by doing some careful image-dependent compression, I was able to reduce the size of my pdf by half and have the result still look better than a standard uniform compression. What I did was:
first place all the images in the ID file, size and position them as they should be
then, looking at the rulers, note the horizontal size, in inches, of each image in the document
begin with the first image, open it in photoshop. If you want this image at 200dpi, for example, multiply the horizontal size (from ID) by 200. Change the image size in photoshop to this number.
save the image in photoshop as a jpg and compress as appropriate for the image type
go back to ID, open up the links window, select the image you just changed, and click the update link button
do this with all your images
when you go to export a pdf, don't do any compression or downsampling on the images.. they're already optimised
So as you can see you have to have some idea of the ideal target DPI and compression of each image in your document, and it may require some experimenting. But if you know that some images can be lowered much more than others, I recommend this method. As I said, in my case I was able to reduce the file size by half without negatively effecting the pdf appearance.

Problem in mobile phone camera Image retrieval using J2ME ...

Hi
I am doing video surveillance application with mobile phone ...
but i am not able to get the images faster from my mobile phone ..
I need atleast 2 photos /frames per second using J2ME ...
wen i tried it , it is very slow and i am not able to get 2 frames per second ...
can somebody help me ?

That's quite a bunch of stuff you want to do there.
Just a short hint for the image processing part here: You can ask any BufferedImage for it's raster (using getRaster()), and you can use the raster's getData() method to access the DataBuffer (the array storing the pixel values). It should be quite easy to split the DataBuffer into 9 tiles which you can then store as blobs. You can also use the DataBuffer to check for color values, or, if you don't want the trouble, you can always use the raster's getRBG(...) method - beware though, it's a lot slower for processing large quantities of pixels. Just another hint: you will have to cast the DataBuffer to it's real type if you want to access the pixel values, for example to DataBufferByte for most RGB images. You can use the DataBuffer's getType() method to determine which kind of buffer the image is using.

Image XObject using /F file specification

We are having a problem where instead of the stream data being on the Image XObject itself, we want to use a stream that is an attached file (we are manually writing the pdf file at this point using internal tools). Inevitably, it keeps trying to get that file from the disk and failing.
This same file specification we are using as the /F property on the XObject dictionary is the same one in the as we have as an entry in the EmbeddedFiles name tree, and the file does appear appropriately in the attachments list. The file spec includes all the correct /F filename and /EF<</F reference>> to the actual data stream.
The XObject dictionary still has a zero byte stream associated with it, and the /Length property set to 0. And we're using raw RGB values, so no filter (/Filter or /FFilter) needs to be specified.
The error we keep getting is "This file cannot be found" (fileErrFNF). If we extract the file, then we get a different error of "You do not have access to this file" (fileErrPerm), unless supposedly, you are running Acrobat Pro, in which case it works as you would expect, but that doesn't solve the problem of us wanting to have it embedded as a file and be read internally, not from disk.
So the file specification should be correct, since we can see the embedded file in the attachments and extract it correctly. And the XObject dictionary should be set up correctly, since when the file is extracted, we can get it to render if running Pro. It's just that for some reason, we can't get the XObject to look for the EmbeddedFile instead of an external file.
We are using Acrobat Reader 9 for viewing and building this against the "PDF Reference, version 1.7" specifications. This also fails when using AR8 as well.
Options that we have tried varying are not including the EmbeddedFiles name tree entry (thus making it invisible), including or excluding the UF or DOS/Mac/Unix values on the file specification dictionary and /EF dictionary. We've tried removing the base /F value entirely, and only had the /EF dictionary. What else can we try to get this to work?

Here are the objects as have I described above:
63 0 obj
<<
    /Type /Filespec
    /F (pic1.rawrgb)
    /UF (p i c 1 . r a w r g b )

Advice for using Acrobat/PDF to preserve 110-year-old book

I am a volunteer on a project for our historical society. The only known copy of a rare book from the early 1890's was found containing valuable historical and genealogical data (10,000 names which we indexed) plus woodcut portrait images. It will be an extremely important and popular resource if we can get it into a universal format such as PDF. I really need EXPERT advice.
The book itself is deteriorating, and literally crumbling. Each page was scanned (and can't be re-scanned due to its fragility) and the resulting tiff images were repaired to replace the missing pieces using the Paint program, a painstaking process taking hours per page. (About 200 kb each)
We have been trying to combine the 256 full-page tiff images by pasting them into MSWord documents containing 20 of the page images each, and then making PDFs of each 20-page document.
The tools we have available are: Acrobat 4.0 on my home computer and Acrobat Standard 6.0 on my work computer, Word 2003 and Word 2000, Paint, Microsoft Picture Editor and Microsoft Picture Manager.
I want to be sure the many hundreds of hours of work that has gone into this so far will not be lost for the future. What can I do to ensure a file that can be read on-screen, can be printed for people asking for copies, and will be readable into the future? I see that 8.0 is now the standard. Am I risking that no one will be able to open these in the future using 4.0 or 6.0?
The PDF documents made with the 4.0 Acrobat have the nicest, clearest print images while the 6.0 appear smeary in print but OK on screen. We have tried all types of different settings for Acrobat 6.0 yet the results have all been the same - nothing we do seems to change the appearance but the file size increases.
Can someone who really knows the workings of these programs please give me some advice on what settings to use to optimize the results and preserve our work for the future? If you or someone you know can talk an amateur thru this, it would be a great service. Thanks in advance!

Word might be introducing it's own compression into the workflow (blurring
the image, data loss), and it does not store this type of data efficiently.
Instead of using Word, I would recommend using Irfanview (freeware) to
combine the 256 TIFF files into a single multi-page TIFF file
(View/Multi-page images/Create Multi-page TIFF...). Use the LZW compression
option (no data loss) in Irfanview when combining to keep the file size down
(that's if there are any color or grayscale images, otherwise use CCITT Fax
4 if they are all monochrome).
You can then open and print the multi-page TIFF from Irfanview to Acrobat to
get a complete PDF file. You can experiment with different compression
settings when printing the TIFF to PDF. You can disable image compression
and downsampling when creating the PDF to preserve image quality, but you
will end up with a pretty large file (will people be downloading it from a
web site?). If the images are grayscale or color then try JPEG medium
compression with 200 dpi downsampling as a starting point and see how that
looks. To save time when testing compression settings, just print one
typical page from the project. Then you will know what settings to use when
printing the entire 256 page file to PDF.
Also the multi-page TIFF, like a single page one, would be a pretty good
option as an archive format (and all the pages will be in order in a single
file).
